Need some upgrade advice
Hey,
I've recently looked at overclockers.co.uk and found that some of the best processors available have had a huge price drop, so I think I might take my chance and do an upgrade.
I was thinking about selling my current components on Ebay - Athlon XP 3000+, Asus a7n8x motherboard, and I am hoping, from what i've seem, i'll get around the 75-80 pound mark for them, leaving me enough hopefully for a new processor, preferrably an Athlon 64 4000 or Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (which do you think is better? considering I rarely multi-task).
Then, i'm hoping to get rid of my one month old XFX 7800GS graphics card in perfect condition, which I knew straight after buying it it was a mistake, considering it being a bit of a bottleneck, and the fact I could have put in another 50 pounds and upgraded everything. However, i'm not sure where to sell the card, as Ebay say they require a 30 pound fee if it sells which is ridiculous, unless anyone here at GamingForce wants it? *hint* *hint*. Then with that money I can simply buy a new PCI-E card and sell my very old components for my previous PC for enough for a new mobo, preferrably an A8N PCI-E.
Does this sound like a good plan?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
